🏰news | features: The 2011 Bouchard P&F Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru is a 【gorgeous and classic 'Charlie', renowned for its crystalline purity, vibrant acidity, and powerful mineral backbone】. Bouchard Père & Fils, a significant owner in Corton-Charlemagne, acquired 60% of the vineyard in 1909, continuing a legacy that dates back to Emperor Charlemagne in 775 AD. This vintage, from the cool east face of the vineyard, is crisp and tight, offering rich structure and tropical fruit flavors. + short tasting note: 【A pure, scented nose offers aromas of lime, pineapple, acacia flower, and powdered stone, leading to a sappy, spicy, and dense palate with vibrant acidity and a pronounced mineral character.】 Expect notes of fresh nuts, exotic fruits, cinnamon, and a saline, savory, dry finish with a tactile crushed stone quality. It's big and rich, with surprisingly approachable charm for a young Corton Charlemagne. 🍴 Chinese Cantonese food pairing: Excellent as an aperitif, or paired with lobster, salmon with sorrel, delicate fish, foie gras, blanquettes, and chicken with morels. 🥂 fit for event suggestion: An impressive effort that will require resting for the better part of a decade in a cool cellar, making it perfect for a grand celebration or a significant milestone.
